Calculords 1.1.3 for iphone

Collectible mathematical combat.... in spaaaaace! Yes way. Sharpen your grade school arithmetic, kiddo, because Calculords is nearly too clever for its own good.

Combine fairly typical CCG (collectible card game) mechanics with math facts. That's right, in order to place your guys in combat versus the CPU, you'll have to combine your numbered cards and the basic arithmetic functions (addition, subtraction, and multiplication) in order to reach the number that's on their card. That is, you can't send out your big ol' space tank unless you can figure out how to combine 5, 2, 3, and 1 to make 12. Don't you wish you'd paid a little more attention in 3rd grade now?

Graphics are retro, dialogue is goofy, and the strategic precision is just what it should be. It's not a super rich and engaging game, but it's a spectacular mathy twist for fans of the genre.
